Passengers on the right side will enjoy panoramic views of the Istanbul city skyline and the Bosphorus bridges as the aircraft climbs away from the Asian side.
The left side offers a spectacular view of the Bosphorus during departure and a better angle for viewing the Crimean coastline and the expansive Ukrainian steppes.
The right side offers a more diverse landscape, starting with the industrial beauty of Izmit Bay and Sapanca Lake, followed by the expansive Central Anatolian steppes and a potential distant view of Mount Erciyes.
